I love dirt. And I love the maps that show them. A good geology map is visually like a weird hybrid between a Peter Max poster and Jackson Pollock drip painting, but also tells a story spanning several billion years of Earth’s history. I’ve found a few websites where you can find and download geology maps in a variety of formats.

The National Geologic Map Database, run by the United States Geological Survey, catalogues maps and geologic names, and also describes what mapping is currently underway. Here’s a screenshot of an online geology map accessed through this website, just south of Barstow, California: For geology mapping of the US and the rest of the world, try the Interactive Mapping Tool at Cornell’s Geoscience Information System pages. And when rocks die, they become dirt.
